Looks like we have a bit of a win streak. Things that have stood out
Smuda’s footwork has greatly improved
Hess has started playing with confidence
Hodges is making some really good decisions on the court
They have done a much better job breaking presses
Boone is going to be special
Howard is giving good minutes off the bench
It’s a young team and it absolutely is showing improvement. Tough stretch coming up but right steps in the right direction

Yeah MTSU is another level. But LU is currently winning the games they should be winning which is a huge step forward. I don’t think this is a Tournament team but we are seeing improvement that gives hope for next year. They just need to get some depth in the back court

I think it’s a tournament team. Just not the NCAA tournament.

Yeah I meant NCAA. I wouldn’t be surprised if they got an invite somewhere else. This team has shown remarkable improvement that’s for sure

LU is missing a player like Asinde from UTEP in their starting 5, instead of Jordan Bailey. They would be a different team.

Brooke Moore has the potential to be that type of player. It’s unfortunate she got injured.

I agree. I have always said, Moore is the best athlete they had. Not much of a scorer yet. Asinde can score, rebound, and defend. Asinde is from Uganda. Maybe LU should try to recruit players there. lol.
